I’ve taken the official GMAT Focus Edition 3 times (6+ months of studying) and the best I’ve done is a 615; I took a practice GRE (no prior studying) and got a 155 verbal, 160 quant - would you advise I switch to the GRE or continue with the GMAT? 3.5 gpa, work in consulting, and am targeting a T15 school

I was in your shoe as well and took the gmat focus 4 times and only achieved 605. Switched to Gre earlier and now have 321 GRE combined. I would switch and just work on vocab now.

Thank you! How did you study for vocab (besides flashcards)?

Hard to believe you’ll do much better on GMAT, GRE is easier.
